Chapter 667: Chapter 489: Obtaining That Girl

Lin Feng’s team watched the competition all night.

They are still staying at the previous hotel, with a suite of eighteen rooms specially prepared for the trainees and teams participating in the King Plan.

The living room is large, with three TVs, two of which are turned on now, one watching the Russian Federation’s match, and the other a special program.

The program mainly introduces powerful trainees from various countries around the world. It also discusses some aspects of their lives and even some gossip.

The show has high ratings and airs daily.

Lin Feng and the others also watched the program yesterday.

Since they’ve decided to participate in the King Plan, naturally, they need to understand other trainees, who will all be their future opponents.

However, the more they understand, the heavier their hearts become.

Because there are just too many top experts.

The King Plan has attracted all the top experts below the level of Kings.

Before this, the Glory Battle was the most watched and fiercely competitive event globally, but compared to the King Plan, it was like a minor spectacle.

The Avengers Alliance, apart from Lin Feng, Bu Zheng, Yun Tianqi, and Ye Xing, are at the bottom of the strength ladder.

In terms of assistance, they might not be weak, but among the trainees, they are certainly at the bottom.

Their only advantage is cohesion.

However, this advantage is definitely limited.

If it were about numbers, large countries would certainly crush small and medium-sized countries. It’s unfair, and if the competition was truly like that, it would hold no meaning or appeal. The event organizers would definitely consider this point.

"Sigh."

After watching the last match of the Russian Federation, everyone was stimulated and somewhat numb.

"Alright, let’s go to sleep."

Lin Feng stood up and said. It was already five o’clock, and it would be daylight soon.

With their strength, resting for one or two hours is enough.

He didn’t comfort everyone anymore, as comforting wouldn’t help. This needed individual adjustment.

"Going to sleep."

Everyone also got up and returned to their rooms.

In the room.

Lin Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out.

The suite he stayed in was on the 87th floor, with no obstructions nearby due to the height, allowing him to clearly see the guardian barrier slightly undulating and the gathering of the demon beast horde and their brilliant displayed ’fireworks’ beyond the barrier.

The ’fireworks’ looked beautiful outside the barrier.

Soon, as the beast horde gathered more, artillery fire suddenly exploded, causing the glass to vibrate slightly, making a "crack" sound.

"How much longer can it hold?"

Lin Feng muttered to himself.

The Avengers Alliance has already grown stronger, and their strength has improved rapidly, with the vast majority stepping into the Ninth Grade, practicing both Soul and Martial Dual Cultivation.

The plan is proceeding according to the original direction, and they are about to participate in the King Plan. If things go smoothly, more than half will become Kings.

Despite this, he still feels a sense of oppressive urgency.

They need time.

Time to grow.

Not too long, just ten years.

Lin Feng believes that given ten years, the Avengers Alliance would fear no threat from any force.

No need to worry about bounties.

No need to fear the approach of war.

But can they really have ten years?

While Lin Feng pondered, the phone on the table vibrated slightly.

Lin Feng picked up the phone, seeing an unmarked but familiar number.

A call from the Yang Race.

Lin Feng could roughly guess their purpose, but he directly hung up.

In the Base City, they do not need protection.

In the Space Gates, they need it even less.

Even if they really needed it, they need not rely on the Yang Race.

The phone vibrated again, once more hung up by Lin Feng, and it finally quieted down.

Above the clouds.

Villa 46.

"I told you he wouldn’t accept."

Yang Qing stood beside Yang Qingtian and said calmly.

"He not only inherited your talent but also your pride."

Yang Qingtian put down the phone, sounding somewhat helpless.

With his strength and status, such a helpless emotion rarely arises, but facing Lin Feng, this feeling always appears.

He has already paid enough attention to Lin Feng, but each time he deepens his attention, it doesn’t take long before he realizes he underestimated him again.

Two divine-level soul skills, consecutively sealing Seven-Star and Eight-Star Space Gates, closing the Land of Chaos - each achievement exceeds his expectations.

He did not anticipate that Lin Feng would earn a trainee spot and is about to participate in the King Plan.

And without any accidents, the entire Lin Feng team will participate.

"Does this mean he will become a King?"

Yang Qingtian asked.

King and beneath the King are two different concepts.

No matter how top-notch the Ninth Grade expert is, they can’t become a Guardian.

Only Kings can become Guardians.

Once becoming a King, Lin Feng will qualify to attend today’s meeting, in some regard having the qualification to stand on equal footing with them.

Yang Qing remained silent for a while, looking a bit hesitant, but finally said, "He will!"

"He will?"

Yang Qingtian turned, his gaze carrying a hint of doubt.

He had asked casually but didn’t expect to get this answer.

And such a certain answer.

"Why so certain?"

"Because he has never failed and paying such a high price surely means he’s confident."

"I know his illustrious achievements, and for his contributions in closing the Land of Chaos, he merits the highest [National Guardian] medal, but he’s not yet 21, are there 21-year-old Kings?"

"No, but he’s constantly creating miracles."

"That’s true, but his strength now is probably just at the Eighth Grade level."

"With the resources from the King Plan, as long as he makes it to the end, even at the Eighth Grade level, there’s a chance to become a King. Even without becoming a King, with his talent and this experience, he should succeed in a few years."

At this, Yang Qing fell silent for a long time.

He didn’t actually want to believe that Lin Feng could become a King!

It’s important to note that he had only just broken through to Martial King last year, and a month ago, he had just broken through to Spirit King. Although he suppressed his strength for the Key, even without doing so, he would still need to be 29 years old to become a Martial King.

Becoming a King before the age of thirty is a well-recognized benchmark. It represents exceptional talent and effort.

It’s rare to see even one among ten Kings.

Although he was unwilling to believe it, he didn’t know why, Yang Qing thought Lin Feng could succeed.

Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, if he wasn’t confident, he wouldn’t have publicly announced the closure of the Land of Chaos’s achievements, risking the attention of countless assassins.

Even if Lin Feng was confident in protecting himself, the other members of the team weren’t necessarily assured.

He must have considered this point.

After a while, Yang Qingtian asked, "What about Ning Bing?"

Yang Qing didn’t answer, but a voice came from the corner.

"I sent someone to test her. Although she’s deliberately hiding it, she can’t conceal her physical strength; her Martial Arts Realm has definitely reached the Eighth Grade, possibly even mid-Eighth Grade. As for her Demon Spirit Master rank, it’s uncertain, but judging by the power of her Soul Skills, it should have reached Seven-Star Demon Spirit Master, though it’s also possible she’s an Eight-Star Demon Spirit Master."

Yang Qing frowned slightly; he hadn’t expected his father to test Yang Ningbing.

"Martial Arts Eighth Grade?"

Yang Qingtian exclaimed in surprise.

This cultivation speed is unbelievably fast.

It’s important to know that Yang Ningbing is only 23 years old this year!

A year ago, she had just stepped into the Sixth Grade Realm, absorbed six Soul Skills, and in just one year, her Martial Arts and Demon Spirit rank both leaped two realms, and they are the most difficult two. Even a super genius would normally need five years’ time.

"What did Ning Bing say?" Yang Qingtian asked.

"She didn’t say much. Regarding any questions about Lin Feng’s team, she just said she didn’t know. She guessed our intention to test her, so she got angry and left directly."

Yang Qingtian looked displeased when he heard this.

Originally, he wanted to understand if Lin Feng’s team had some secret, but it seems there’s no chance now.

Since joining Lin Feng’s team, Yang Ningbing had only returned home three times. Her personality changed quite a bit; she was no longer as obedient as before.

"No wonder they have the courage to participate in the King Plan."

At this moment, Yang Qingtian finally understood why Lin Feng’s team had the courage and confidence to join the King Plan.

"Even with constant battles and no shortage of resources, it’s impossible to achieve such cultivation speed. Lin Feng’s team must have a secret, a secret that allows rapid strength improvement!"

Yang Qingtian was very interested in this secret. He continued to ask, "What about the Zhan family’s kid?"

"He went home. Five minutes after Ning Bing left the house, he also left the Zhan family. It should be that Yang Ningbing informed him."

"I wonder if Elder Zhan guessed anything," Yang Qing asked.

"That old guy is as shrewd as a ghost; he must have guessed it. The Zhan Race doesn’t have much top-tier combat power, so he will definitely try to win over and cultivate Lin Feng’s team."

Saying this, Yang Qingtian felt very displeased.

The feeling was like watching something of his being taken away.

Even though it never belonged to him.

"Did you find out anything?"

"It’s probably that girl’s ability!"

"That He Jun?"

Yang Qingtian quickly reacted, but his tone was somewhat puzzled.

Lin Feng’s team put thirteen bounties, and He Jun’s bounty was fifth. He was surprised at the time and certainly hadn’t forgotten.

"Yes, the Demon Spirit that He Jun refined is very special, but its specific abilities are still unknown. However, the fact she joined Lin Feng’s team proves she’s not simple."

"I watched a video from a year ago of her fighting Lin Feng. After her Demon Transformation, Lin Feng didn’t even dare to approach, always retreating. This girl should possess a similar curse-type ability, and she joined Lin Feng’s team just a year ago, which matches the timeline perfectly."

"According to the information, after Lin Feng’s team kills enemies, the bodies turn into dried corpses, the flesh seemingly devoured. Originally, we thought it was related to the Celestial Punishment Sword, but now it seems it should be the effect of that girl’s ability."

Voices kept coming from the corner, exploring Yang Ningbing’s strength, and some confusing points were explained.

"An ability akin to devouring flesh and blood to nourish oneself!"

Yang Qingtian exclaimed, puzzled.

Such an ability is rare, though not unheard of; some bat-type Demon Spirits possess this.

But this effect clearly cannot compare to that of He Jun’s ability.

What’s more precious is that this ability can be shared with teammates, enhancing their strength.

"That’s why they’re madly hunting down Alien Race talents and consecutively sealing off all the Space Gates."

Yang Qing understood a bit.

"If Ning Bing reached this level of strength, then Lin Feng, Ye Xing, and Yun Tianqi’s strength is certainly more than this."

Yang Qingtian’s eyes flickered, and his tone was somewhat complicated, "It’s not just Lin Feng, but Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi—they too have the chance to become Kings. With that girl, their strength will improve quickly, which means in a few years, Lin Feng’s team will have more than ten Kings."

Thinking of this, Yang Qingtian was shocked.

As one of the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, even without accounting for those hired, the Yang Race now only has four Kings.

While shocked, he was eager to win over the girl.

To a family, that girl is more important than an Emperor.

With her, the family’s strength could advance several levels, gaining several more Kings.

"There aren’t that many Alien Race talents to kill now."

Yang Qing said, guessing Yang Qingtian’s thoughts.

"War is coming soon, aren’t there plenty of Alien Races?"

Yang Qingtian retorted.

"He Jun has already attracted the attention of Alien Races and all major powers, and she’s about to participate in the King Plan. Her abilities will soon be discovered!"

Yang Qing reminded.

He Jun was undoubtedly very important to Lin Feng’s team. To get her would definitely mean offending Lin Feng’s team.

Yang Qing didn’t want that.

Lin Feng’s team had immense potential, and offending them offered no benefits.

But his father wouldn’t consider this.

Because if the Yang Family doesn’t compete, other families will.

With war approaching, all forces are trying every possible way to increase their strength.

"Yes."

Yang Qingtian responded. He naturally understood this principle. It wasn’t easy to get this girl, and when her abilities were exposed, countless forces would scramble for her.

The military would be the largest force among them.

He naturally couldn’t take her alone, but he wanted a share of the pie.
